The definition of connectivity differs depending on the viewpoint of the person answering the question. Effective data communication between a device, such as a printer, and a command driver, such as a host computer, is only one aspect of connectivity. Device flexibility is another aspect, one that is equally important and often overlooked in creating an effective automatic identification and data collection (AIDC) system that can achieve the Return on Investment (ROI) required to justify the system's implementation.

Few workplaces remain static in terms of layout and workflow. Having connectivity options that are flexible to adapt to changing business conditions helps maintain productivity in the face of change.

This White Paper will provide an overview of the types of connectivity options available, their respective benefits and limitations, and their applicability to AIDC systems.
